Leading machinery supplier Haffner has been shortlisted for the new Machinery Innovation Award at this year’s G Awards.
Matt Thomas, Haffner’s Managing Director, said: “We are delighted to be shortlisted this year. It’s the third nomination in a row for us. We’ve been fortunate to have won our category in previous years, so we’re keeping our fingers firmly crossed we can make it three in a row this year!”
Haffner has been shortlisted for its KT 808-50 Assembly Table for Door Sash because it eliminates the time-consuming manual alignment of a door outer frame and sash. The KT Table increases consistency, accuracy and speed, allowing a fabricator to manufacture one door every five minutes. It is a transformational solution for every volume door manufacturer.
Matt said: “Ensuring the outer frame and sash align consistently in door manufacturing is essential for both hinge placement and aesthetics. For high volume door manufacturers in particular, this is a significant issue that slows down production rates and impacts quality, ultimately taking money away from the bottom line. Several fabricators approached us to develop a solution and in response, we developed the KT 808-50 Assembly Table for Door Sash (KT Table), which optimises sash assembly by combining different processes on a single table.”
Haffner Ltd is the UK’s largest machinery supplier to the fenestration industry and its dedicated team works hard to help customers select the perfect machinery to streamline operations and boost efficiency. It is truly committed to adding value to fabricators’ businesses – something that’s perfectly illustrated in the development of the KT Table.
The G Awards were launched in 2004 and are celebrating their 20th anniversary this year. The awards evening is dedicated to rewarding innovation and exceptional performance from the best companies and the best people in the UK market. This year’s event will take place on Friday 29 November at London Hilton on Park Lane.
